The best of buddies, Arya and Vishal had a great outing together in Bala’s Avan Ivan.

We now hear that the duo is getting back together.

Arya is likely to do a cameo in Madha Gaja Raja aka MGR starring Vishal in the lead. The actor who currently has Irandam Ulagam and Vishnuvardhan's untitled film in hand, didn’t think a bit in giving his nod to do the cameo for his friend, say reports.

MGR also stars Varalakshmi Sarath Kumar, Anjali, Santhanam, Sadagopan Ramesh, Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood in important roles.

Richard Nathan is helming the camera for this film directed by Sundar C after the success of Kalakalappu (2012). Vijay Antony is composing the music for the film and actor Sada has been roped to perform for an item number in the film.

The teaser of Settai that released recently has garnered an amazing response from film buffs and celebrities alike.

In just a few days of its release, the teaser of 'Settai' has crossed half a million hits. The shoot of the film is now being planned in foreign destinations like Dubai and Switzerland.

Now that Arya is free from his commitments in Georgia for Irandam Ulagam, it seems that the actor has allotted his dates for Settai along with Hansika and Anjali.

Arya would be participating in the song shoots in the aforementioned foreign destinations.

Director Kannan has toned down the adult content from the original Delhi Belly, to make sure that family audiences enjoy Settai, like his previous films such as Jeyam Kondaan and Kanden Kaadhalai.

First there was news that Arya will lock lips with his co-stars Hansika Motwani and Anjali in the Tamil remake of Delhi Belly, and now reports have it that the handsome actor will also do the steamy bedroom scenes with his female co-stars for the film that is titled 'Settai'.

Director R. Kannan recently announced that Settai will have no expletives like the original, but surprisingly he wants to make the romantic sequences between Arya and Hansika Motwani hot and racy enough to leave the audiences asking for more.

According to the director, Arya will not only be locking lips with Hansika and Anjali but would also share steamy bedroom scenes with them. Those who have watched Delhi Belly know that Imran Khan did intimate scenes with both of his female co-stars in the film, thus the passionate sequences are requirement of the film’s script. 

"The kissing and bedroom sequences amongst the actor are very important to establish the intimacy between the characters and I hope to shoot them all aesthetically," said director R. Kannan who is expecting a U/A certificate for his film despite of all that kissing and lovemaking scenes.

'Kalakalappu', a comedy caper directed by Sundar C with Vimal, Shiva, Santhanam, Anjali and Oviya in lead roles is running packed houses and those who have seen the flick would have also noticed the glamour quotient in the film besides laughing their f#cking a$$es out.

"I did not force Anjali and Oviya to wear glamorous costumes in Kalakalappu. I just explained them the demands of the script and the thorough professionals understood it," said Sundar C about the two leading ladies who were seen with an extra dosage of glamour.

Initially titled 'Masala Cafe', the film was rechristened as 'Kalakalappu' before its release worldwide. Following the stupendous response, the producers of the film have decided to go ahead with a sequel with exactly the same team.

Sundar C is currently busy filming Madha Gadha Raja with Vishal and Karthika and would turn his attention to the Kalalalappu II once this project is wrapped up.

Shooting for Kalakalappu 2 is scheduled to begin in October and Sundar C is expected to return with exactly the same team with Vimal, Shiva, Santhanam, Anjali and Oviya reprising their roles.

Kalakallapu is living up to its name and it is rocking as far as the audience are concerned.

Producer Dhananjayan of UTV Motion Pictures has said that he is being besieged with offers for remakes of 'Masala Cafe' in Malayalam and Telugu which is why the release of the film in those two states have been put off.

In another exciting development that is sure to delight fans, the makers are thinking of a sequel for this film as they feel that there is plenty of potential for a second installment.

"Sundar C's script for 'Kalakalappu' has that universal appeal without any language barriers. It would not be surprising if the film is remade in Bollywood as well," added Dhananjayan of UTV Motion Pictures.

It will be great to see Vimal, Shiva, Santhanam, Oviya and Anjali reunite again on the big screen.

STR makes the most unpredictable moves!

The Young Superstar has been very busy shooting for 'Vettai Mannan' and 'Vaalu' produced by S.S Chakravarthy of Nic Arts. While 'Vaalu' co-starring Hansika and directed by debutante Vijay is announced to be a quickie that would release for Diwali this year, 'Vettai Mannan' directed by Nelson also starring Jai, Hansika, Deeksha Seth and Poonam Kaur is slated for a pongal release next year.

Incidentally Arya's 'Settai', directed by R. Kannan of Jayamkondaan fame is also expected to hit screens for Pongal next year. The film that was earlier titled 'Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam' is the Tamil remake of the Bollywood hit 'Delhi Belly' that also co-stars Premgi, Santhanam, Hansika and Anjali  in the lead roles.

It is expected that STR and Arya will be fighting it out with each other for the top spot at the box office for Pongal next year. Interestingly, Hansika is the common denominator in all three films.

Arya and Santhanam, after their winning combination in Boss Engira Baskaran, come together for their next project titled 'Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam' directed by Kannan of Kanden Kathalai fame.

VVS is the most anticipated Tamil remake of the Hindi blockbuster Delhi Belly.

'Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam' AKA VVS is a comedy film and is set to go on floor from May 7th for a 30- day shoot.

For this purpose, a huge five star hotel set has been erected opposite Binni Mill. This enormous set is said to have cost the makers a whooping Rs. 1 crore.

The film features Arya, Santhanam, Premji, Hansika and Anjali in the lead roles. Muthiah will handle the camera and Thaman will be composing the music for the film.

Sundar C seems to have returned to direction with 'Masala Cafe' with Vimal, Shiva, Santhanam, Anjali and Oviya. It is old news that the movie has been wrapped and has been retitled 'Kalakalappu' before its audio release.

 

The film maker is back to what he does best and has completed his come back film in 90 days time.

Kalakalappu that has music by Vijay Ebenezer is now in news for its musical album that is been sold like hot cakes. This summer laugh riot is slated to be released on 11th May. 

After this, Sundar C will begin work on his next film which is going to have Vishal in the lead. This project will be a romantic comedy and will have Karthika pairing with Vishal for the first time. The film has been titled 'Madha Gaja Raja' AKA MGR for short!

Ain't that an innovative title?

Sundar C's next film originally called Masala Cafe and starring Vimal, Shiva, Santhanam, Oviya and Anjali has been renamed Kalakalappu.

UTV Motion Pictures and Kushboo's Avni Cinemax are the producers. Ilavarasu, Panju Subbu, John Vijay, Balaji Mohan and yesteryear actor, VS Raghavan in a special appearance round out the rocking cast.

It is felt that Kalakalappu is the perfect title for the film as it promises to be a full - fledged comedy with lots of laughs and entertainment.

Shooting has been wrapped up and post production is underway. The audio for this film will be launched today, April 20th 2012 and the film is expected to hit the screens in May.

Refuting rumors that she is in love with Jai and the two are heading towards matrimony, Anjali has said in an open letter that it is just baseless rumors.

Anjali has said that she has undergone a lot of problems to establish herself as an actress and such rumors at this stage of her career may only hinder her progress.

According to Anjali, she wants to scale greater heights by bagging several awards and this is possible only if she is able to concentrate in her career. Therefore, there is no room for love and marriage right now, said the determined Anjali.

Anjali appealed to her fans and media persons not to believe or spread out such rumors.

Shweta Menon who was last seen in Naan Avan Illai 2 will be returning to Tamil screens with Aravaan directed by Vasanthabalan.

Shweta will be starring alongside Aadhi, Pasupathi, Kabir Bedi, Bharath, Dhansika, and Anjali.

The actress who got hitched earlier this year is upbeat about her role.

Shweta plays a prostitute in the film but clarifies that there will be no sleaziness involved as the director has shot everything in an aesthetic manner.

Kushbhu has finally come out with the star cast of her husband Sundar C’s directorial venture.

Kushbu has said that the star cast will include Vimal, Mirchi Shiva, Anjali, Bindu Madhavi and Santhanam.

Sundar C is back to directing movies after a long time and it was speculated that he would be roping in Vadivelu with whom he has churned out a number of hits.

The re-entry of comedian Vadivelu was something that the fans were also expecting when this Sundar C flick was announced.

It has finally been made clear that Vadivelu is not connected with the film as reported earlier.

Anjali has a supporting role in Vasantha Balan's film Aravaan. She will be playing Bharath's love interest in the film.

Aadhi is the lead actor and Dhansika is his heroine.

Kabir Bedi, Pasupathy, Sweta Menon are the other actors who will be rounding out this stellar cast.

The Angadi Theru actress has come in for a lot of praise for her performance in Engeyum Eppothum with Jai.

Anjali was also seen in the blockbuster, Mankatha.

Anjali who had acted in Angaadi Theru and Jai of Subramaniapuram are donning the lead roles in the film Engeyum Eppodhum. This film which has been directed by A R Murugadoss’s assistant Saravanan is being released on 16th of September and at this juncture there is news that Anjali and Jai are in love.

Recently, A press meet for this film was held and actors Jai aad Anjali had participated in the event. When the media asked Jai about his ongoing romance with Anjali, " I am not in love with Anjali" replied Jai. I have only acted in the love scenes with Anjali for this film - Engeyum Eppodhum. Only that is the truth. The thing I like about Anjali is her acting.”

Anjali said, “Jai acts well. He will also cook well. That’s all. We are mere friends and not lovers. I am a young girl and I've just started growing up. I have not thought about marriage.”

Anjali of Angadi Theru fame is over the moon as she is set to star in Samuthirakani’s next movie, Poraali. The acclaimed director of the runaway hit Naadodigal, will be joining hands with his faithful companion, Sasi Kumar, yet again.

Sasi Kumar who starred in Naadodigal as the lead hero will once again helm the leading role in this movie. Poraali is likely to follow the footsteps of previous success as this hard-hitting movie will focus on the volatile situation in Sri Lanka.

As for Anjali, she is delighted to have landed the role as previous track record of the duo suggests that female characters casted in their movies have played a prominent role.
